Age of the Gods: Prince of Olympus is a Playtech progressive video slot released in February 2017, and it remains one of the more entertaining entries in the Age of the Gods series. You play around Hercules and his labours, with a muscular Greek-mythology theme, solid bonus features and a shot at the shared

Age of the Gods Jackpot.

Gameplay, Symbols and Betting

The 5x3 layout carries 25 paylines, with wins paying from left to right. Stakes run from 0.01 per line to 250 per spin when all lines are active, although a casino may set a lower cap. The game has plenty going on, but the RTP varies by operator and the stronger features will not arrive every spin.

Prince of Olympus plays cleanly, with 25 displayed paylines and adjustable line bets at many casinos. The practical range with every line active is commonly 0.25 to 250 per spin. Premium symbols are Cerberus, the Golden Apples of the Hesperides, Hercules' club and belt, while A through 9 fill the lower-paying positions. Five Cerberus symbols on a line pay 4,000x that line bet, which is the regular-play ceiling.

The Nemean Lion-skin Hercules is the Wild, appearing only on reels 2, 3 and 4. It substitutes for every symbol except Scatter and Bonus. The Hercules logo acts as Scatter, while Hydra symbols appear on reels 1 and 5. Wins can be chunky, but do not mistake the big top line win for easy money. Medium-to-high volatility means quiet stretches are part of the deal.

Age of the Gods: Prince of Olympus base game screen

Herculean Strength, Free Games and Hydra

The best base-game feature is Herculean Strength. When a Wild lands in the centre position of reel 3, it expands across that reel, locks in place and awards two re-spins. Wilds landing on reels 2 or 4 can expand and lock too, adding another re-spin. If reels 2, 3 and 4 fill with Wilds together, all three expand and one re-spin is awarded. That can turn an ordinary spin into a very satisfying screen. Three or more Scatters anywhere award 10 free games, with all wins tripled. Free games can retrigger, and Herculean Strength remains available, but the Hydra Bonus does not. The Hydra feature needs Hydra symbols on reels 1 and 5 in the same base-game spin. You fire arrows at the nine heads to uncover cash prizes, then make a final pick for a multiplier of up to 5x. Random Hercules Rage can destroy every head and award all prizes.

Progressive Jackpot and Player Verdict

The Age of the Gods progressive jackpot is linked across Playtech 's shared network and has four tiers: Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power. The jackpot game can trigger randomly on any spin, regardless of the result, with higher stakes improving the chance of triggering it. Once inside, you pick coins from a grid until three matching symbols appear, awarding one of the four tiers. Every jackpot game pays a tier, but there is no promise that you will trigger it. RTP is the detail you must check before depositing. Different configurations are listed at roughly 93.83%, 94.82% and 96.04%, so use the game's information panel rather than trusting a generic listing. Autoplay and turbo are available, and HTML5 support makes it suitable for mobile. I like the feature mix, but I would play at a sensible stake and treat the progressive as a bonus, not a bankroll plan.

Summary

Age of the Gods: Prince of Olympus earns its place through strong presentation, useful Wild mechanics and several ways to reach a memorable win. The expanding reel re-spins and tripled free games are the main reasons to stay interested, while the Hydra Bonus gives base-game sessions a welcome change of pace. The warning is simple: RTP depends on the casino, and the medium-to-high volatility can punish oversized bets. Check the paytable, confirm the RTP, keep the stake comfortable and let the progressive jackpot be an unexpected extra rather than the reason you play.
